Nova and Zeke stared at each other in silence for a moment, and Zeke looked over at me with a confused look.
Nova:Um...*sighs*Nova's bad at talking to people. Normally, she just plays and eats. She's not used to this stuff.
Zeke:I kind of picked up on that...well, I'm sure there's something we could talk about.
Nova:Nova's sorry about trying to eat your wings.
Zeke:...Not what I had in mind, but thank you.
Nova:They just tasted sooo good. Nova's never tasted angel before that, especially a Seraphim. It's like that wagyu stuff Nova's heard about.*giggles*
Zeke:Uhhh...thanks, I think?
Abby:Shouldn't um...shouldn't we help that guy?
Envy:Yes, absolutely!
Mist:Now, now, let's watch it for a bit.
Pride:Is everything alright out here? I heard...hang on.
I saw Pride step into the arena, then walk up to us. He knelt down in front of Nova, then knelt down, inspecting her. I noticed Nova's eyes go wide, and she started jumping up and down excitedly before hugging Pride.
Nova:Uncle Priiide!
Pride:Supernova! My god, I thought I'd never see you again!
Nova:Nova came back!
Pride:*chuckles*Your grammar is the same as ever, child.
Zeke:Oh...you knew her?
Pride:How could I not know Lucifer's daughter? He always sent her to me whenever she needed to get rid of her extra energy. She was such an energetic girl back then.
Zeke:*mumbles*She certainly hasn't lost any.
Abby:Well, I brought her at just the right time then.
Pride:That you did...oh, I know. I should gather the other Sins to let them know Lucifer's daughter has returned. I believe you and our new Sin of Wrath will get along well. He also shares an appetite for fighting.
Abby:Oh, Kane's already met her.
Pride:He has? What about her parents?
Zeke:Them as well. She's been living with us for...around two weeks, I believe.
Pride:Really?..Well, alright then. I'm so happy to see you in good health, Nova.
Nova:Nova's also happy to see you again. Nova's trying to talk to chi...Zekey about stuff, but Nova's not good at it. What do people talk about?
Zeke:You know I could just tell you, right?
Pride:*guffaws*I'm sure you'll get the hang of it, Nova. Ezekiel, you don't mind keeping an eye on her, do you? She has a tendency to-
Zeke:"Play rough," so to speak?
Pride:Ah, I see you already know that as well. Good to hear...now, I should tend to Envy so you can have a rematch, Ezekiel. Have a nice one...oh, and tell Kane to attend the next Crucible meeting. He's been skipping then recently.
Zeke:I'll let him know, but he's probably just been busy with work...or maybe it's just Kane being Kane.
Nova:Zekey, Nova wants breakfast.
Zeke:Uhhh...we can go home and make some then.
Nova:Do we have meat?
Zeke:I think we have bacon we could make.
Nova:Nova wants more.
Abby:Pancakes! I want pancakes!
Nova:...Huh?
Abby:Let's go home. I want Kane to make choccy chip pancakes!
Nova:What's "choccy?"
Abby:Chocolate!..Wait a minute. I could have him make those super good ones with bananas.
Nova:...Abs really likes pancakes.
Zeke:It's her favorite food.
Nova:What's yours?
Zeke:That...is a good question. I will say that Kane makes a dang good sirloin, but it's not my all-time favorite.
Nova:Kane cooks meat?
Zeke:He's a shockingly good chef, though I feel like Claire's the one to thank for that.
Nova:Nova sees...so, can we go home for food.
Zeke:Yeah, just don't try eating me on the way back, please.
Nova:Nova promises...where'd Abs go?
Pride:She left through one of her portals just a moment ago. I assume she's returned home.
Zeke:Gotcha.
Nova:Nova will race you home. Ready?
Zeke:What?..Uh, sure.
Nova:Go!
I hopped out of my portal, ending up in front of the door to BeeBee's room. I heard some weird noises coming from inside, then knocked on the door.
Bea:AH~!..W-Who's there?!
Abby:It's just me, BeeBee. Do you want some breakfast? I was about to wake up Kane so he could make some pancakes.
Bea:Y-Yeah. Yeah, sure, I uh...just...just uh...give me a moment to catch my breath.
Abby:Why do you need to catch your breath?
Bea:Y-You scared me!
Abby:Oooh, alright. I'll see you downstairs, BeeBee.
Bea:S-See ya there, Abby.
I skipped into mine and Kane's room, then jumped onto the bed, hearing a groan from Kane. I giggled, then poked his cheek.
Abby:Wakey wakey, I want pancakes.
Kane:Abbyyy, gimme a minute to wake up.
Abby:Come ooon, I'm hungry.
Kane:I'll make 'em in a sec, aight?
Abby*puffs out cheeks*Fiiine...oh, how about you go into BeeBee's room and scare her?
Mist:I was just about to suggest that.
